Sure, there are going to be times where life feels or seems meaningless. It happens. Even when things are going okay. There's a human yearning for purpose, and when it doesn't appear to be there, then we can get down on ourselves, on others, and things in general.

I don't know that I have a ready answer for such moments. I don't think the instances we face are as unique as we would like to think they are, but there is a some level of uniqueness to it because it's happening to us. How we perceive things, process them, react to them, and to what degree, are a part of it, but essentially, each one of us unique, making the experience unique.

Now, does that mean life is meaningless. I don't think so. There's generally some foundation upon which to build. Rarely does everything possible go wrong, and rarely are things so damaged that they can never be repaired. It might seem like it in the moment, but there's a reason why they say time heals all wounds.

So, I don't know. We all have reasons for living, and getting through the day. Trying to hold onto those reasons when life gets rocky is a start, anyway. Life isn't easy, fair, or anything else. What we do about it, though, is always going to be up to us. Easy or not, we have a lot to say about our own happiness and state of mind.
